Helga Mogensen, Oxidised copper, fish leather and driftwood brooches

Helga has been working with a variety of materials such as silver, steel, copper, brass, driftwood and fish skin. Her main focus in her art work is using her personal experience in life. translating that into objects to wear, or even as wall pieces. She loves the freedom that is involved in her field. The different scales of work, varying from earrings to large scale neckpieces bring different challenges. Currently, she is using driftwood in combination with thread and sterling silver. Mogensen considers the thread, which creates a link between the driftwood pieces, to represent a human connection.
